In fact we've only just begun.
While many Hillary primary supporters are gleeful that an estimated 73% of us Bernie supporters will vote for her in the general election I think they should take notice. After she trounces tRump she cannot go back rightward. She would do so to the peril of Democratic Party unity. It's incumbent upon all of us to fight for a Democratic Party Congress and hold her to her promises on TPP, minimum wage, college tuition, green infrastructure, Keystone XL, universal healthcare, etc...
This is just beginning. What Bernie has brought to the surface is not going away.

(36,063 posts)The result will have significant impact on Clinton's cabinet, and on legislative action in the first 18-20 months of her administration.
That will be good for the status quo, but not progressive causes.
Dems on the left must plan, work and fund a major effort to gain progressive seats in the mid-terms.
The only way to have national progressive restructuring is to have significant numbers of governments at all levels that are progressive.
"It" (being the progressive restructuring) isn't over until we give it up, and even then it would only be over until it starts again.

(28,351 posts)how many are voting for her and how many voting against Trump.
I was slowly coming around to the idea of voting for her, but Negroponte's endorsement of her (plus her campaign's announcement of it with no qualms) and the rationalizations of her followers about how it's a good thing to that criminal's endorsement have me back to "Fine, she's not Trump."

Either way...
